Ever wanted to create a business page in Facebook without using a personal account?

There is a way to do it. Sort of.

Facebook allows to set up a business account, which is like a personal account without the bells and whistles of a personal account. If you have neither, you can click on the “Create a Page for a celebrity, band or business” link just below the “sign up” on the login panel. It will lead right to the “create a page” panel. Continue to create an “official page” for your business. At some point Facebook will ask for you login information, where you can select “I do not have a Facebook account”. At that time you have to enter your business email address and date of birth.

Now you have a business account through which you have to access your business pages from now on.

Keep in mind, per TOS you as an individual can have only one account, either personal or business. You may later convert your business account to a personal account by entering more information (cannot be converted back). But you cannot have multiple business accounts or one of each personal and business account.

If you are creating business pages for your clients you go through these steps as outlined above. At the time the client takes over you need to make your client an administrator of that page (after befriending him or her). When you or your client removes you as an administrator of the page you just reduced to the role of an ordinary visitor of that page (hopefully you’ll like it).
